Yes, that is sort of the case, but effectively, the boot flags do the MBR mucking for you... No flag, no boot...
But indeed, you can dual boot easily enough - Either using a totally separate partition or using the Wubi method if you don't want to muck about with having multiple paritions (my preferred method, as partitioning causes more grief than its worth IME, unless you are multi-OSing with different versions of Windows etc).

But yeah, no worries for the help, any time!
